I think this could be easily adapted into a tool for teaching children basic algebra.


See iOS app "DragonBox".


A couple of quick searches indicate that this is a well-regarded application. Thank you for your recommendation.

A quick review of your comments here indicate that you're an OK person. I enjoyed your review of the Highlander franchise, thanks.

I happen to be one of those liberty-or-death types when it comes to software licenses. Doubly so for educational software!

I ... I can't trust a company to educate a child. Their goals are just too much different than mine. [The pessimist in me says that] They'll never provide a copy of their internal design documents so that future educators could improve upon their craft.

A teacher would share his lesson plans, and a Free Software developer would share her code.

I can't send a dime to an educational software company because (apologies to various humans and their families in advance...) I want all such companies to dry up and cease to be, in order that teachers and Free Software developers would have a better chance to thrive.
